So, I bite the bullet and purchased the Trident Aegis case. I am not too happy with the case. I was expecting to find two separate pieces of soft silicon layer and a hard PVC shell.

Spigen SGP offers quite a lot of cases for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Folks at runaroundtech have done a review of the SGP Hardbook case, which resembles the official flip cover for Galaxy Note 2 but has few differences.

Rumors are brewing that the Samsung is working on a cheaper version of its Galaxy Note phone. This cheaper version, as expected is said to have a smaller 5 inch screen and less powerful hardware to keep the costs down. The smartphone will come with LCD display instead of Super AMOLED to bring the price further down.
According to benchmark results leaked online, it seems that Samsung is working on a tablet with 7 inch screen. The leaked tablet, being called Samsung GT N5100 has a quad core 1.6GHz processor and runs Android 4.1.2. The resolution is 1280 x 720, which is identical to Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
